Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone own a Merlin Extralight?

Im going in for a custom fitting tommorow. Couldn't test ride it first because they didn't have one in the shop. Am getting a really good price, wanted ti and so I think I will go with it. Any comments on the Merlin would be most appreciated.

I love my Extralight. There is some flex in the BB, but even so the power transfer feels better than my Trek aluminum. I also feel more comfortable and stable on a large frame like this than on a compact. I have 2000 miles on her and love every ride!
